Introducing Cisco Data Center Networking (DCICN) — Question 72

Which option is an example of a distance vector routing protocol?

Answer options

• A. RIP
• B. OSPF
• C. ARP
• D. IS-IS

Correct answer: A

Explanation

RIP (Routing Information Protocol) is a classic example of a distance vector routing protocol, which calculates the best path based on hop count. OSPF is a link-state routing protocol, ARP is used for address resolution, and IS-IS is also a link-state routing protocol, making them unsuitable as examples of distance vector protocols.
